Apple Pie, Sliced.
3 pints of pared and sliced apples.
1/6 of a nutmeg, grated, or 1 teaspoonful of cinnamon.
1/2 pint of sugar.
4 tablespoonfuls of cold water.
Half the rule for delicate paste.
Pare the apples and cut into thick slices. Line a large plate with paste and then fill with the apples, being careful not to break the paste. Sprinkle with the sugar and nutmeg, and then with the water. Roll the remainder of the paste a little larger than the pie plate. Make a slight opening in the centre. Cover the pie with this, tucking the edges under the lower crust. Bake in a moderately hot oven for one hour. Reduce the heat after the first half-hour.
